Yeah, I'm hoping to see at least one more quality announcement for the system. And you're right, most of their games don't seem to have a particularly high budget. I was speaking relatively to them and the profits they'd like to see come from the games. But because of that, I think there's more of a chance of seeing at least one more quality announcement from then. It would be a nice sign of appreciation for the fans that stuck with them.

Sadly I have to doubt it. Considering it would have to release in less than 8 months from now and there's probably only two months left for non-NX announcements, we should know about it already if it existed. 

Even that rumour saying we have on more unannounced Wii U game, probable Paper Mario. If you look, Fire Emblem Megami Tensei is probably summer game and between that and Zelda U in most likely November Wii U dont have nothing, that unannounced game would perfectly fit like release in September-October and people could said that Wii U had some support even in last year before NX.

Well, yeah it's safe to say... I mean nobody is going to execute you or anything. It's incredibly stupid to say, but safe.

PS4 was revealed in February. XB1 in May.
Nintendo has plenty of time, i think.

I was refering to 2016 games. Pokken (arcade port), TP HD (Gamcube port), SMT X FE (localization), Star Fox (low budget, I don't want to initiate a debate on this one pls), Mario VS Sonic (low budget). Only Zelda seems out of place. Pikmin 4 would fit pretty well between these games. It's not about if the game is good are bad, is about the people and money put into it. And Pikmin it's not an AAA title or between. Not even close.

Even if they take advantage of the NX hardware, I don't think it would be difficult to por it to Wii U. It's not a Wii-Wii U difference. More like PS3-PS4. And we've seen plenty of games in both systems.

Sure, they rarely do this and they're focusing all their resources on NX since probably half 2015.  But, this is an unprecedented situation. Wii U will die with only 4 years on the market and it hadn't the same kind of games other Nintendo system had (quantity and quality wise). Fans will surely be angry. Having some "big" name IP like Pikmin announced for the system would make thinks a little better. Of course, I don't know if it would be completely worth it, I'm just trying to prove this is not complete nonsense.

 

Hey I'm not saying it's nonsense, just unlikely! Believe me, I would rather it atleast be multiplat since I generally wait a while before buying new systems, but I'm not gonna set myself up for disappointment by expecting that. Also Pikmin is much closer to niche than big, and it alone wouldn't do anything about the lack of Animal Crossing, Metroid, Paper Mario, etc.

It'll probably just go the way of Super Paper Mario, but atleast it wasn't officially announced already.

NX launching this holidays is as clear as that god doesn't exist.

As an atheist I say this with the utmost delicacy.  Stfu.

Just like I wouldn't want people coming into topics to preach about Jesus, I'm sure religious people don't want atheists coming in to spout their beliefs.  Keep your comments about religion in the appropriate places.  You're giving the rest of us a bad name.

MK game on the handheld soon? if Nintendo unify its system, MK and other stellar games would be available for both HH and HC. But we still don't have details on NX.

end of the year 2016 for HC and march 2017 for the handheld. and people can buy both at $349 - $399.
NX won't sell around $349 when X1 and PS4 would have price cuts and have a better library.

XBO wasn't announced until like a month before E3. Your doubts are foundation-less. Also, the leaks effectively confirm its release this year.
